Chapter 14: Civil Rights

Critical Thinking Questions

1. Have you ever faced discrimination based on your race, gender, or sexual orientation? If so, what did you learn in this chapter about whether your civil rights were violated?
2. Should government attempt to provide a level playing field by making sure that there is no discrimination, or should it go beyond providing equality of opportunity to also be concerned with the equality of outcomes?
3. Which policy-making institution has historically played the most important role in protecting the civil rights of Americans? Does that institution still play that role today?
